It's because this record is so samey and by-the-book Dillinger

I guess I can see that but my point was more that if that's the issue then it's an issue that's plagued their last three albums, not just this one

his lyrics are never all that impressive, but are decent at times. I love his vocals on all the records though

I don't think Greg's performance on this tops his work on Option Paralysis, but it's still awesome. The only album on which his vocals were quite annoying at times was Miss Machine. It's totally understandable though as he wasn't a very experienced singer back then.

Seen this criticism several times now, can you elaborate? I mean, unless you were expecting an entire genre shift or something, this is a pretty experimental release. Certainly more so than MM and OP.

In all fairness, Understanding Decay is one of their best tracks. I don't know man, I'll compare it to Miss Machine - the latter is easily more technical, has a wider tonal palette (I don't see anything rivalling Phone Home on here), greater dynamic contrasts, and it feels just that much more ferocious. This record, on the other hand, feels like a band that has come into its own and has slipped into a comfortable groove that they already established on Option Paralysis. There's nothing on here that they didn't do (or didn't do better) on their last record. Plus, seriously, Parasitic Twins. Enough said. There are some brilliant tracks on here, but as a whole it just feels like standard fare Dillinger.

Good points man, I can definitely understand your perspective even though it's not my own. I'll wait until I write my review to detail why I personally find it such an accomplished release, but I don't think it's necessarily contrary to a lot of what you said.
